Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
Answer:
If the converse is true, then the inverse is also logically true. If two angles are congruent, then they have the same measure.

Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the pythagorean theorem giving us:
a^2+b^2=c^2
(6sqr2)^2 + (6sqr2)^2 = c^2
72+72=c^2
144=c^2
12=c
Answer:
Your solution is (9, 27) or x = 9, y = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x + 9
y = 4x - 9
We can see that both of these equations equal y, so we can set them equal to each other.
2x + 9 = 4x - 9
Add 9 to both sides.
2x + 18 = 4x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
18 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2.
9 = x
Now we want to find y. To do this, plug x = 9 back into one of the original equations.
y = 2(9) + 9
Multiply.
y = 18 + 9
Add.
y = 27
Your solution is (9, 27)
Check your answer by plugging x = 9 and y = 27 back into the original equations.
y = 2x + 9
27 = 2(9) + 9
27 = 18 + 9
27 = 27
y = 4x - 9
27 = 4(9) - 9
27 = 36 - 9
27 = 27
Your answer is correct.
Hope this helps!
